7 Reasons Why Cannabis Tinctures Are Your Best Friend

Cannabis tinctures might be one of the most underrated ways to consume cannabis, and up until the start of cannabis prohibition in 1937, tinctures was the most common form of cannabis medicine. Here’s what you need to know, from why they’re great to how to store and make them yourself.

1. Tincture basics

Cannabis tinctures are usually taken by placing a few drops under the tongue (sublingually). This method is great for those who need a rapid dose of medicine. Put a few drops under your tongue and you’ll feel it.

6. Tinctures provide dosage control

Tinctures are immediately absorbed into your system, making its way to the brain and body. Simply use a few drops and wait for the desired effects to take place. If more medicine is needed, additional drops can be added.

Alternatively, you can use a dosed sprayer rather than a dropper. There are two reasons for this. First, you may find it difficult to know how many drops you’re taking if you can’t feel them properly.

Secondly, with a dropper, you are opening and exposing the liquid all the time which lets the good stuff out and dust and other irritants in.
